I believe ISC2 made the CC exam to parallel the CompTIA Sec+, but do not think it's on the same level.
I had a Sec+, have been working in CyberSec adjacent roles and sat this exam and passed, no problem - I thought it's free, so what's the worse that could happen. If I didn't pass, no money out of my pocket.
If you're looking for a CyberSec role, I think it would be a differentiator against someone that doesn't have any certification. Do NOT expect to land a role with just the knowledge from this exam. Add some scripting (github), some HackTheBox (or at least TryHackMe), some Microsoft/Cisco projects and include that if you're trying to pivot careers.

Don't be fooled by the kids going to college for a 4 year degree in cybersec, and then think they know more than the guys that have been in the IT field for years whom have been working with such systems that will get tested and know the ins and outs much better.
The Cybersec area is an oversold promise of goods to the younger generation, but it is an important area. Personally, I've always viewed it as a high specialization that sits above the network and systems side of IT. So it takes a strong foudation in IT to be successful imo.
